Hello,
As I set the units to Kgf-cm the default values of Mass and Weight for defining materials are not the same. I believe there should be same values respect to definition of Kgf ? as I know 1 kgf is the weight of a mass of 1 kg!!!

ETABS internally calculates the equivalent consistent mass units considering the the given distance units as well. You should get the expected results (1 mass units=1 kg) if you use the kgf-m units. Remember that the distance units are needed to define the acceleration (m/sec2 is not the same to cm/sec2).
